Mom’s Apple Squares

Traditional recipes for apple squares often use plenty of trans fat-laden shortening in the crust. We replaced it with a mixture of canola oil and butter and swapped out half the all-purpose flour for whole-wheat pastry flour for a little fiber. They are best enjoyed slightly warm. Gently reheat any leftovers in the oven or toaster oven to recrisp the crust.

I was rushed so I used a sore made crust, rolled it out to fit the 9x13. I then reduced the sugar to 1/2 Cup added to rest of ingredients and topped with remaining crust.
Fantastic. Making again this weekend. OK to omit sugar topping. Not necessary.

Pros: Tasted just like apple pie but sooo much easier. I hate making pies
